An anti-gay man in NYC attacked a married same-sex couple who graduated from West Point. It didn't go as planned.
The first male same-sex couple to marry at West Point were in a Manhattan bodega in the upscale neighborhood of SoHo on Sunday when one of them was physically attacked by a man they say threw the first punch.
"It's hard to believe that in 2015 we would have to deal with anti-gay hate crimes in soho of all places but that's what happened today," Larry Lennox-Choate III wrote on Facebook.

(1,681 posts)A bodega is SOHO should be flush with cash so not having cameras in & outside the store is unusual. Would have been nice to see a Repuke get his ass handed to him by a couple of boxers.

One of the places I worked one of my bosses was gay and was muscular, spent a lot of time in the gym and was a black belt in martial arts. I didn't see or hear anyone talk shit to him. He'd a smashed them like a bug if they had. Damn good boss I might add.
